Synopsis
Jack Valentine has been in the intelligence game too long and it is starting to show, but he accepts one more mission. He always does. It seems like a simple task but it throws up deadly questions and he doesn't know the answers. What were American Special Forces doing in Ireland twenty-five years ago and why does it matter now? What is the thread that leads from a deserted mountainside to the offices of the White House?Valentine no longer knows which threatens him most - the dark alliance of men who want to kill him, the terrible storm crossing he is forced to undertake in a battered, converted trawler, or his own dangerous cynicism.

From AudioFile
The task seems simple for Jack Valentine, a British intelligence operative: Retrieve a twenty-five-year-old package from a Northern Ireland cave. Then an old IRA friend appears, and soon Jack is dodging the IRA, British and American Special Forces, and his own boss as he tries to survive while learning what's so special about that package. Sean Barrett is a mesmerizing reader for this gripping Irish thriller. The accents--Scots, Irish, public school English, even the difference between Texan and North Carolinian--are spot-on. Characters' emotions are revealed clearly without overacting. And narrative pacing in Barrett's warm, well-rounded voice is superb--quiet and clear, then racing with the action. He's so good that one doesn't, at first, attend to the book's mayhem. It's a violent tale, with a convincing love story, well written and beautifully read.
